Ann an 1911 rinn B脿rd Shiadar, Murchadh Moireasdan (Murchadh a' Bhocs) an imrich a dh' Aimeireagaidh mar iomadach Le貌dhasach eile. Bha an gr脿dh a bh' aige air eilean 脿raich agus maise na t矛re fh猫in a-riamh air aire Mhurchaidh ge-t脿, agus c貌ig bliadhna deug as d猫idh dha a dhachaigh a dh猫anamh ann an Niagra Falls chaidh cruinneachadh dhe a bh脿rdachd fhoillseachadh ann an Glaschu. Tha 貌rain bhon chruinneachadh leithid Le貌dhais mo Ghr脿idh agus Nuair Dh' iathas Ce貌 an Fheasgair Dl霉th a-nise nam p脿irt phr矛seil de dhualchas 貌rain an eilein.

Ceud bliadhna as d猫idh sin air eilean Le貌dhais, tha e air tighinn am follais gu bheil seinneadair-sgr矛obhadair 貌g Ameireaganach dol a chluich ann an Ste貌rnabhagh mar ph脿irt de a chiad chuairt a Bhreatainn. 'S esan Cahalen Moireasdan, neach-ci霉il t脿lantach 貌g bluegrass, iar- ogha Mhurchaidh Mhoireasdain, 's tha e na phr矛omh amas dha barrachd fhaighinn a-mach mun bh脿rd, a
shinn-sheanair, agus mu a cheanglaichean l脿idir ri Eilean Le貌dhais.

In 1911, the Shader Bard Murdo Morrison (Murchadh a' Bhocs) sailed for America with many other Lewis migrants. Love of Lewis and its landscape never faded for Murdo though, and 15 years after settling in Niagra Falls, a collection of his poetry was published in Glasgow. Songs from the collection such as 'Le貌dhas mo Ghr脿idh' and 'Nuair Dh'iathas Ce貌 an Fheasgair Dl霉th' have become part of the traditional repertoire of many island singers over the years.

100 years later, word comes to the Isle of Lewis of a young American singer-songwriter coming to play a concert in Stornoway as part of his first UK tour. The bluegrass, US roots musician is Cahalen Morrison, great-grandson of Murdo Morrison, who is on a mission to find out more about his great grandfather and his own connections with Lewis.
